Abstract
A computer assisted surgery apparatus includes a surgical instrument having an intervention member to cut tissue of a body part of a patient; a control unit arranged to control position and orientation of the intervention member in relation to the body part with regard to a predefined osteotomic line on the body part; and a tracking device arranged to track a position and orientation of the body part. The surgical instrument includes an optical monitoring system mounted in relation to the intervention member, wherein the optical monitoring system is arranged to continuously detect positions of marks applied to the body part, and the control unit is arranged to adjust position and/or orientation of the intervention member when a predefined deviation of the positions of the marks is detected. The surgery apparatus allows for application of cuts in the body part at comparably complex cutting geometries and at comparably high precision.
